For years, Hasbro has been asking fans what they want to see in the Star Wars lines through their "Fan's Choice polls", resulting in such great figures as Jan Dodonna, Ellorrs Madak, and Ephant Mon. but now, to shake things up a little bit, Hasbro has asked ToyFare to get involved, and we've got some big ideas. Instead of giving you five characters to choose from, we're giving you the whole universe! That's right, we're going to let you choose any Star Wars character from any of the Star Wars films, cartoons, books or comics to be made into a 3 3/4 inch Hasbro toy! First-round voting begins December 14 and ends on January 14, so be sure to go to www.wizarduniverse.com (http://www.wizarduniverse.com) to place your vote! This is the poll you're looking for!

So, unless this is a huge rouse, which it could be....looks like this should be mighty interesting. So all you pollsters and politicians, it's time to start pushing for your candidate to get made into plastic! I think we should all think of the figures that have little to no chance of ever being made and push for them. For me, I'm thinking of unique side characters, not imperial/rebel leaders or pilots, but some person that is just random.....this might be your chance for the Ice Cream guy in Bespin!!!!!

There are so many figures that will probably never get made that I don't think we have to reach as far into the closet as the Ice Cream Maker Guy. I hope that we as collectors would be a little more sensible than that. I think what I will do if I don't think of one myself, is wait and see if a sensible one emerges on the poll with a chance to win and vote for that one.

I'll be happy with a MOVIE version of Padme that they have never made before - from TPM, AOTC, or ROTS.

Nothing I vote for is likely to win though. Also Owen and Beru (and Cliegg) are important to me.

Kidhuman did a poll and extensive calculations to determine each of our Top 50 lists. It is located here: http://forums.sirstevesguide.com/showthread.php?t=25024 . It competed with my own scene-by-scene list (and came out prior to ROTS) but 38 (50-12) of the figures people chose the most were exactly the same between both lists. I recopied my personal want list from Kidhuman's poll below:

Some of these figures like General Veers are seeing realization next year for 2006. I credit our members' efforts at displaying interest in the characters. I'm sticking around (Star Wars) primarily to buy the figures I listed above. With several exceptions, Hasbro did an excellent job delivering the figures I wanted from ROTS (need Galactic Marines, Clone Medics, Medical Droids, another Palpatine, Padmes, Bail Organas, etc.)

I hope I'll have a bit to look forward to in 2006 and 2007.

I would go for Yarna if she wins, but I would like to see (as a test of the waters) a NJO Vong warrior of some sort. They could use this as a gauge for a complete NJO line. Let the screaming at me begin.....

The great thing I think will be that this will be great market research for Hasbro. In the end they will get a list of 25 figures that the fans really want. I'll bet they start giving them to us over the next years. Anytime the line is slow from kids and they need us again they can make something off the list of 25.

It will be very interesting to see how many Expanded Universe figures are on the list. (I hope 0.)

(gets prepared to get flamed for not wanting obscure alien)

I have no problem with core characters being constantly done - not as I once did. My collecting habits have changed a number of times since I started in 96 and now they are such that I welcome core characters - preferably new sculpts but rehashes are alright as long as they are of good sculpts. Jedi Luke has never received a good sculpt so obviously we badly need one. However Hasbro will use any excuse to issue core characters as part of the basic line or in special multipacks such as Evolutions (more please Hasbro) - for that reason I think it would be wasteful for a fans choice figure to be a core character. Better to use fans choice as an opportunity to get a figure we otherwise wouldn't get in a million years.

spang2005

We, as fans, can't let this go to waste. Let's not get trigger happy and all vote for a figure we know we're going to get eventually anyways (such as the ice cream maker guy. how long can they hold off?). I really see this as a chance to get a great figure that would otherwise have no chance of being made. Granted, I think baron Fel would have a better chance than some, but I really think we should try to unite for this and get us all a great figure that would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Baron Fel is from the Rogue Squadron comics, an Imperial officer and pilot without compare. (Well, aside from Luke, Han, and Wedge.) Later on, he takes a position of power within the Chiss Ascendancy and his son Jag has a sort of on-again, off-again relationship with Jaina Solo.

Okay, here's a real problem with this poll, depending on how it's run.

Are they only going to give us one choice? I'll assume that we can "write in" our choice(s) more than once. But when it gets the the top 25 from those choices, then what. If we only get to pick ONE from that list, I see our choices getting screwed.

What I'm hoping for in that top 25 is that they either give us the opportunity to vote for more than one character. For instance 5 out of the 25. To take that even further, we could assign from 1-5 which ones we want more. One being the highest and getting 5-points, 2 getting 4-points, etc. This way we vote for more than one as well as prioritize. I think doing it that way would really seperate the most wanted from the least. I know I'm going to be miffed if we only get one vote for one character as there are MANY, IMO that should still be made.

To be honest, I don't know who I want the most. Yarna would be interesting, so would the Tonnika twins. I'm leaning toward Cliegg, young Owen and Beru. But there are many. I'm not a fan of NJO at all so I wouldn't vote for that, however I'm a fan of the video games, so that opens up a lot of choices. KOTOR, Republic Commando come to mind. Nym from Starfighter and Jedi Starfighter would be awesome, but alas his time has passed...

One vote just isn't going to be enough.

At least with having more than one option of voting and prioritizing Hasbro can get a much better idea RIGHT AWAY what FIVE figs we want the most, instead of one a year.

Let's face it, the further we get away from ROTS, ther further back in peoples minds Star Wars will become. If Hasbro doesn't capitolize on this NOW (within the next two years), they will have missed the boat and lost Millions of dollars!

Re: Tonnika Sisters:

We still need proof of that.Have faith. The likeness was signed off at the SDCC.:thumbsup:

I cringe at the thought of a Yarna figure. The only possible use for this figure would be to finish a Jabba's throne room diorama (and mine is better off without it in my opinion). The character was disgusting at the very best (as was the intention). Her apparent popularity disturbs me, kinda makes me nauseous. However, as I stated before, if that is the best we can come up with (and I certainly hope it is not and doubt that it will be)...I would vote for it.

I have to give Hasbro Kudos for having too much taste to make this figure to this point.

On the other hand, maybe I hope she will win. Then Wizards gets stuck with a warehouse full of them and runs screaming from the thought of ever requesting an exclusive again. I was very disappointed with the Roworr (spelling?) figure.

Oh yeah...if we gotta do a Yarna...make sure we vote super articulation.

Rust, go to E-bay. They already made Katarn. There is currently an auction where you can buy his figure using "Buy it Now" for $9!

Please stop that nonsense about them already having made a Kyle, theres three (maybe four, haven't played Jedi Academy) different designs for Kyle Katarn. The POTF2 figure was none of these. They used elements from the Dark Forces and Dark Forces 2 designs into the one single figure which looks like crap.

It's like saying they already made a Biggs when people are asking for the Tatooine Biggs.

I'm going to have to vote for a Dark Forces 2 style Kyle Katarn which doesn't look anything like the POTF2 "Kyle."

I had to vote for Carnor Jax from Crimson empire since the rumors are that we are getting a exclusive Kir Kanos.

I know alot of people hate EU, but like I said in earlier posts and threads, I think Hasbro should relaunch the EU line but make it a collector's club only and not for mass-retail. This way fans of both the saga and EU can get what they want, and the people who do not like EU can go to a store and not see these figures clogging up the pegs.

It isn't nonsense. No one specified that he or she wanted a Kyle figure in an outfit different from the one already released or that the prior Kyle figure was unsatisfactory. The clear implication of the prior posts was that people were unaware of the figure that had already been released.

I really can't wait to see what the Top 25 figures will be. As I said, I think Hasbro will mine the Top 25 list over the next few years. I don't think the winner is quite as important so much as making this list because I think we'll get almost all of them eventually. This really is very exciting!

I think this a fantastic way to get our voices heard, and to get one (surely more) of our most wanted characters immortalized in plastic. There's no doubt in my mind that Hasbro will look at these lists, and take them in to serious consideration. . . especially since there are no new movies on the horizon. I don't think anyone will be surprised at the winner of the poll, even if its not the one you voted for. But. . . alas. . . with one vote. . . that is a challenging choice.

So. . . where does my vote go. . .

When I saw the "options" on Wizards. . . it made my decision even more difficult. . . and the great suggestions already in this thread further complicated things. First. . . while I have no problems with EU. . . I'm not going to vote for an EU character. There are simply too many that haven't been done, and honestly. . . Hasbro has enough available characters to be made to create a EU Line. Kinda going hand-in-hand with EU. . . was the Droids/Ewoks cartoon series. When I saw these listed I kinda took a step back. I am a huge fan of the Droids cartoons. . . and would love to see some rereleased. I immediately thought. . . wow. . . wouldn't some Droids Cartoon Figures done in the quality of the Clone Wars, in VOTC packaging be great!!!! But then again. . . this is for standard packaging. . . and I would rather not have a single, one-shot Droids Cartoon figure. . . its just silly. So that leaves me with the six movies. I'm not hating on the Prequels. . . but I'm going to limit my choice to the Original Trilogy. I grew up on the OT, so that is where my memories are. I can choose a figure that I never had when I was playing with my Kenner figs back in that day. Granted. . . there are some great choices in the Prequels. Nemoidians are nice, Pod Racers would be sweet (but we aren't getting the pods, remember) and plenty of background Jedi, and Senators to choose from! But when I think of the Original Trilogy. . . two scenes come to mind. . . Mos Eisley, and Jabba's Palace. These two scenes alone are chock-full-of great background characters! Yarna. . . well. . . we almost had her back in the day, had POTF not flopped, so for nostalgic value. . . she makes the cut. When I first saw Ephant Mon, I immediately thought of a Hermi Odle figure, but as Turbo pointed out. . . I doubt that would fit under the "standard card" rule. Skiff Guards, Jabba's Chef, the other dude with the Rancor Keeper. . . and many more! And in Mos Eisley. . . we are still missing some key patrons!

So. . . with all that being said. . . I haven't voted yet. I'm going to look over the "rumored" lists, and replay these two scenes a few times (widevision of course) and see what I come up with. I think I've narrowed it down to these two parts of the saga, and I am happy with that. For those who are lobbying for other characters. . . you are on the clock. . . you still have a few days to sway my vote :thumbsup:

Seriously. . . keep the great ideas coming. . . Hasbro will listen. With the amount of years they still have rights to making these figures. . . they will be using this list for ideas! Regardless of how small, or how little support your suggestion will garner. . . someone may not have thought of it. . . let it be heard!!!!!!!!

I've no doubt that most (if not all) of the unmade OT characters will eventually be made. I'm pretty certain that any and every decent PT character will probably also be made at some point. No doubt Hasbro knows that we want unmade aliens like Elis Helrot or imperial officers like Tagge, so I'm thinking that this really is a good time to push something "new."

Bluesnaggletooth1 mentioned "McQuarrie Concept Vader" which I think is a great idea. I hope that they revisit the McQuarrie thing over and over again -- and I think that they probably will anyway. Captain Spoon voted for Bastila Shan from KOTOR, and I think that's a great idea also. I'm all for pushing the game characters, and KOTOR or KOTOR2 is at the top of my list. Bastila, Canderous Ordo, Bao-Dur, Mandalore, or HK-47 who I almost picked would be great, but Darth Malak got my vote. He's creepy, he's bad, and he'd be a great way to get the whole game figure thing going.

12-16-2005, 02:56 PM

Ok, I dont want to burst anyones hopes here, but a brief summary of why to vote for Yarna.

Hasbro said there is no market for her and will not get made. Characters such as Lando in smugglers gear, Padme and various outfits and the ice cream maker guy all have a good chance at being made. If Hasbro sees enough demand for Yarna they might reconsider and make her. Look how long we cried and yelped for Veers with armor and we are getting it. Yarna is a must have and the fact that it is a voice your opinion poll helps tremendously to the cause of getting Yarna.

TheDarthVader

12-16-2005, 03:35 PM

Ric Olie, I understand how you think (like so many others). If there was one of Jabba's Dancers who had not been yet made and she was thin and pretty, you'd vote for her. But since it is the FAT and UGLY Yarna, no one wants her. How shallow! That is irritating. Biast (on the topic of physical form) Star Wars figure buyers...hmmph!

Plastic Fetish, that is just speculation. You don't know for SURE that Hasbro KNOWS it will make Tagge, Yarna, Ice Cream Guy, etc. No one can KNOW. So I want my Yarna before Star Wars cools off, and she is NEVER EVER made. See kidhuman's post above mine. Excellent reasons KH.

Plastic Fetish, that is just speculation. You don't know for SURE that Hasbro KNOWS it will make Tagge, Yarna, Ice Cream Guy, etc.I didn't say anything about Yarna or the Ice Cream Maker Guy. I'd like to see both of them made... heck, I still think the ICMG would be an awesome convention exclusive. I didn't mention them because I figure that Hasbro has probably already made up their mind about them. They've said that they wouldn't make Yarna for a few reason, not the least of which being that it's not a good "kid's" toy. I think that was a lame excuse, but if they mean it, then they probably won't change their mind. If they didn't mean it, then they've probably already put her on their list. (Besides, Yarna doesn't need any cheering from me, seems that she has plenty of fans.) The Ice Cream Maker Guy isn't going to be made into a figure that you'll see hanging on the pegs at TRU. I'm sure Hasbro knows that we want it, but it's only a cult favorite.

I'm not trying to divert interest from any other figure, I'm only making a pitch for something different as an option. Think about the way people voted in the last Fan's Choice Poll, and then look at the figures that got made outside of the one figure that won. I'm sure that all of our votes influence Hasbro, not just the majority.

It seems like Hasbro releases a new farm boy Luke every six months but we can't get a new Padme considering all the different outfits she wears.

It's an injustice I tell ya!

Vote Padme.

12-17-2005, 05:42 PM

Ric Olie, I can see your point. If hasbro would stop releasing lukes, hans, and vaders (even though I'll buy any vader) then we would probably see more padmes. And if they ever release 30 different padmes I will buy one of each! I wish they'd do an evolutions padme set. That would be killer!

PlasticFettish, I understand. But I still think we need her in the top five for hasbro's eyes to open wide. What on earth is that in your avatar? I know...old Kong. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. :) :P

DNA, this is a democracy. I doubt I am going to change many fans' minds. However for those who don't know about Yarna I am sure as h*ll going to make sure they know at least who she was in the film. I am not trying to bash anyone's vote...I am going to push for YARNA though. Haven't you ever seen the strong supporters of a candidate around election time? Do they just sit around? NO! They push for the vote of their candidate...signs go up and commercials are made. They even pass out bumper stickers. I can't do that, but I sure as h*ll can push the Yarna issue. That is what I am doing. What is wrong with some Star Wars patriotism? JEEZ! I am not "making" fans do anything. :(

I agree with Ric. The reason why I didn't vote for Yarna has nothing to do with the way she looks (I have to admit the 6 boobs thing is a bit uhm...well...far out there, even for Georgie boy). This is supposed to be a fan's choice, and there are so many other characters that could be made (or in some cases improoved), and yet it seems that almost everyone here has voted for the same figure. If I could go back and change my vote from Final Duel Palps, I would probably pick either another version of Padme (so many fabulous costumes), or a no action feature figure from ROTS, I mean the list of possiblities are endless. Spread the love folks, we are all adults here (well most of us I would guess) this isn't elementary school where you are gonna be ignored at recess because you didn't pick what the "popular" kids picked. So go pick obscure cantina aliens, pick core characters, pick other astro-droids, pick other imperial and rebel officers, pick EU, just pick, and don't feel pressured or guilty for picking one way or another!

Well Jawa, aside from the fact that Jar Jar was not really that visible in ROTS except for those few brief (and I do mean BRIEF) shots, there was not much to be done with Jar Jar.

You make a very valid point though (whether you meant it sarcastically or not). Why not vote for a ROTS Jar Jar. Should the Jar Jar fans all over the world have to suffer because most of the Uber fan's want a chick with 6 ta-ta's? And if that is what it has come down to, then I suggest to all the female and gay men who collect Star Wars figures to vote for a ROTS Anakin in his jedi pj's!

I hate to say it folks, but voting has only been open for a few days, and I think it is plain to see who the favorite is to win, its almost painfully obvious that Yarna will place in at least the top 10 (maybe if enough uber fan's create many more email addresses, she'll break the top 5). However I am willing to go out on a limb and say, that I will laugh my queer @$$ off if when the results come out and after all the "campaigning", Yarna doesn't even make it onto the list. You must choose. But choose wisely.

His pic is on Red Six's site. I think he was there when they filmed but they just didn't need a shot from an angle that captured him. So Lucas ended up editing him out. The story was about these guys named, Ben, Chewie, Han, and Luke at this point in the movie. Not everyone else made it on screen.

I want each of these Q-tips to have its own mold and they had better each be super articulated and come with loads of accessories. Of course if I know Hasbro, they're probably going to make the Q-tips exclusives and I'll have to spend insane amounts of money on eBay to get them.

So why should you vote EU or Ice Cream Maker Guy or Six Times Endowed Horror when literally hundreds of Q-tips aren't going to be made unless we show Hasbro that there are people who want them made?

Ladies and Gentlemen, you have to vote Q-tip! I've already done so with every email address I've ever seen, though they'll probably ignore the ones I took from Toyfare.

jedi master sal

12-18-2005, 10:55 AM

I dunno, I'm just not excited at the prospect of Yarna. Sure someday, but not as a fan choice. I think that character should just be one that Hasbro makes and not at our urging. They've had YEARS of us begging them for the figure, that they shouldn't need a poll to tell them to make it.

There are some notables that I've seen people remarking about here and other SW collecting sites. Those being:
Quinlin Vos
Yarna
Tonnika twins

What I fear is Hasbro pulling back on Cody and R5-D4. We've heard that they are slated for next year, but to my recollection Hasbro has not "officially" released thhis information, which could mean that they'll use the poll as an excuse not to make those two. What I mean is that Cody and R5 won't get votes bcause we all know they are slated to be made. But without the official release of info they technically are not being produced and Hasbrp could pull the plug on them. Especially if they are later waves.

I stated before this poll went up that one vote per person was going to really suck and it has. I can think now of about 36 figs I'd like to see made. It's DAMN hard to pare that down to one and I feel many characters are going to get slighted in this poll. Hopefully if the poll is somewhat close, it will give a signal to Hasbro to make more than just ONE figure from the poll. I guess we'll get a better understanding when the 25 finalists go to the next poll. Even then, I say they shoudl allow us to pick 5 from there and prioritize them 1-5 of who we ant the most. That would give us a clearer picture in the end.

In any event, I've heard commented that Hasbro has skewed this poll by already having certain figures in production and those will be the ones to make the top 25 no matter how we vote. I see that as VERY possible. Hopefully if that's true, that means those ones we really want are being considered, researched and developed, at this time.

Totally agree with you, sal. I think all these polls are rigged, so they don't actually determine who goes into production next. However, I think they serve more as a marketing tool to find out who to work on after the supposed winners.

Well I don't feel like that, and I voted for final duel Palpy. Not that that is the version of Palpy I want, just Hasbro doing what they do best. Now if Hasbro was smart, they would have released that set with all new figures...but I'm getting off topic.

Even if I was allowed to change my vote, I still would not vote for Yarna. I could think of at least 10 other figures that I would vote for before I even considered voting for Yarna (and most of them are Imperial Officers).

I still have faith that Hasbro will release a final duel Paply with the 2 toned robe, even though my opinion of them has steadily gone down. Oh well.

hmmm, i'm still leaning towards a NJO era fig foe a cote. and as much as i'd like a final moment Chewbacca ala 500th Vader/300th Fett, i want too see a new chara made.

Anyone know of good reference pics for Jaina or Tahiri?

Tycho

12-21-2005, 11:36 PM

What does "foe a cote" mean? I read all of NJO, but who is Chara? Did they make a previous figure of this person? When was that?

Jaina is tricky as you need more than 1 of her - likely a Jaina Solo Evolutions set: Apprentice, X-wing Pilot, "dark" Jedi Knight.

Tahiri is well-pictured on the Junior Jedi Knight books. But what needs to be known is when she decides to start wearing shoes (I'm serious).

Yeah i meant "For a vote" and chara is short for "character",
gah the internet really isn't helping my terrible spelling

Is there any reference pictures for either "dark" jaina or Tahiri after the Vong got to her? As far as I know no comics were made for the New Jedi Order era so that makes things a tad more difficult to cite costume specifics in the voting form, However I definitly want to put my support behing a NJO era figure.

Tycho

12-24-2005, 08:54 AM

The cover of "The Final Prophesy" shows Tahiri rather well, but I really need to check out the New Essential Chronology and New Character Guide post E3 to see how updated they all are.

An effort to bring Jan Duursema (especially) into NJO comics should have been made and Dark Horse should have gotten more involved wth NJO and unifying a look for it. I love what they did with Clone Wars and Republic, but they missed the ball on NJO which was really a Del Rey project - but it would have been nice for the fans if they worked together on it.

OK, you guys let's really focus and send this one out there:

"A carded Mouse Droid" (or 5-pack).

I have no idea why this concept isn't winning. I'm going to have to call an emergency meeting of the Mouse Droid Sniffers' Association.

I want independently articulated wheel suspension, and a clicking, beeping noise when it rolls. I know they were basically black, but there are different shades of black. Multi-spectrum paint applications could result in various olfactory sensations when one opens this ingenious piece for their collection. What's more, I think it should be sold with a star-protector case that holds the smell within for longer.

Y'all go and vote for the Mouse Droid, ya hear me now?

I don't quite remember where I read it at, but "theories" (I guess you'd call them) have surfaced about hasbro using this "contest" to see what we want. 2018 is a long, long time away. If they plan to fufill their contract, Id be suprised if we didn't see EU based lines. Cries for Toyrn Farr, Yarna dal Gargan, Death Star II Luke, Jango Fett, etc. are going to appear in the line. (Hell, if Bren Derlin got a figure, Toyrn Farr and Yarna can't be that far behind. However, those are only half the majority cry. Quinlan Vos is leading the EU characters, followed by characters like the Solo twins, Darth Revan and Malak from KOTOR, obscure Jedi that didn't make it in the films, and odd EU characters. 2006 is on our doorstep, 2018 is 12 years away. In 12 years, the figures we all desperatly want should be in our collection, on our shelves, in our drawers, MOMC, on your desk at work, etc. Wherever you keep your figures at. This "contest" is letting hasbro know who we want to see. If you thought your figure would never get done, watch for it to be on the rumor lists in 2007 or 2008.

For me the day when we get another line or two of just EU figures is the day that I quite this whole thing. It was bad enough when they released the one wave back in the day but at least there was lots of other product to keep me interested. Nowadays there isn't half the amount of stuff to buy.

I'll partially agree with you on that. Toyrn Farr would eventually be made, along with countless remakes of Jango and Luke. What I don't agree with is that Hasbro would make Yarna without this poll. She has a few things going against her: 1) She is female, and a "hefty" one at that. 2) her profession. Hasbro probably sees her and remembers how bad the Rancor Keeper sold.

I believe Hasbro would make EU characters...once they figure out where to start. Shadows of the Empire was an easy choice because it was a book and a game, plus EU was a bit more limited back then. Now, there are so many eras in Star Wars EU to choose from. And, if they wait, they will have to worry about TV shows competing for figures as well.

Personally, the only EU characters I would buy would be droids and Rebel pilots.

Her weight is def. not a problem. Countless figures like the Rancor keeper, Gremoriean guard, etc. were hefty, yet sold. (They didn't sell great, but they did sell).

Secondly, Hasbro wouldn't title the figure: Yarna Dal Gargan-Jabba's Palace Prostitute. No company in their right mind hoping to target the kid as well as collector would do that. However, Jabba's Dancer or Palace Dinzien or something would work. The exclusive Oola figure sold, and she was more skankly dressed than Yarna. Same with Slave Leia. Sex sells. Even if it is an obese, 6 breasted woman.

The Rancor Keeper sat on pegs and in bins forever, even after it went on clearance. The Gammorean Guards are practically an army builder. They are green pigs, so are supposed to be fat, and they have the monster/alien factor going for them.lol

Hasbro probably saw Slave Leia as a core character, so didn't have a problem with making her...multiple times. Oola was geared more towards collectors because it was an online exclusive.

I'm sure if Hasbro ever made her, they would come up with some clever name for Yarna like you mentioned. It doesn't even matter to me if they make her carded alone, include her in a multi-pack of Palace Dinziens like we got in the Saga line. I just don't think they would make her in the first place without her winning a pole such as this.

Slicker

12-28-2005, 03:48 PM

Don't forget the big fat Ephant Mon that they made. I personally never saw one on the pegs and I had to buy one off Ebay for the low, low price of $20 (seriously that was one of the lowest prices when I bought him) so it's obvious that overweight figures DO sell sometimes. I think Yarna would be one that would fly off the shelves...if they don't overpack her.

I don't know how wet they want the ink to be when it hits, but I have to suspect subscribers get it a few days in advance. The web vote may currently be Goes Nowhere Does Nothing. Actually I would hardly be surprised if it's still there after the magazine hits the stands.

I dont believe the list. Way too many EU characters on there. I will await the official confirmation. If voting is still going on, then this can not be the list.

Who knows really. Until the issue comes out or there is a serious leak that can be confirmed, we'll find out in a few days.

My choice was Quinlan, with Villie being a string second and ICMG third, and finally Yarna fourth. Though there are a few others on that short list of 15 that I'd like to see done.

-Sal

Here's 5 more to add to the fray (all women):
Padmé Amidala (black "fireplace" gown from AOTC)
Jaina Solo One of Han and Leia's twin children.She'd either be in Jedi or x-wing pilot clothes
Bultar Swan Asian Jedi from AOTC's geonosis arena scene
Admiral Daala EU Imperial Admiral. IIRC, she wore a RED Imperial officer uniform. Would be kinda neat.
Toryn Farr "Stand by Ion control...FIRE" She's one of the Hoth tactical screen operators. Similar bun hairstyle as Leia's was from the original.

Any of all f those would be excellent additions. Though I'd want Toryn Farr first then Bultar Swan then which ever of the other three next.

Again this seems to be another web sites speculation, but these are good choices.

Admiral Daala does not wear a red Imperial uniform, she has red hair, but a green uniform like Tarkin (her old lover).

You're thinking of Ysanne Isaard, Imperial Intelligence (who's uniforms are red). She's got raven black hair with a white birthmark streak in it on one side, and possibly two different colored eyes (one blue, one green). She had her own father killed (the former head of Imperial Intelligence) to ascend to her position. She had a problem "stalking" Baron Soontir Fel (TIE Pilot Ace - who was even married to Wedge Antilles' sister) but she never got anywhere with that. Fel hates her. But either lady would make a great figure and offer the Empire some ladies-in-uniform. But Isaard, or "Ice Heart" as she was nicknamed, would be a more impressive and different figure than what would look a lot like Mara Jade in an Imperial uniform (Daala - though she wasn't Mara Jade or even close!)

No, I don't play KOTOR or any video games really, but I have been told the "secret" about the game, so I know... However, I did also know more about the Rogue Squadron comics than anyone previously posting. How else do you think I chose the screen-name "Tycho" nearly 10 years ago?

I'm sure there will be plenty of EU on the list because I know when I voted I wanted to vote for a character I thought hasbro needed a push to make so I voted Hermi Odle. The fact that they claimed they lost money on Ephant Mon due to the amount of plastic they used. I figured they would have to use about the same for Hermi so the only way I seem him being made is a Deluxe or one of these polls. I would imagine everone has that character they want that fits this scenario be it Yarna, Tonnika Sister, Ice Cream Make Man or any EU character so that's what I expect to see. The fact that the list did not include the Tonnika Sisters makes me belive it is not valid plus too many KOTOR figures.

The way Hasbro is distrubuting their product I'm not sure if the line will last until the end of the year. They now have me wondering if they want anyone to acually buy their product. I mean target puts one case of figures out in a week and WM doesn't even have any stock.

I know the list has been posted, but this post is from RS with some added info.

I got my Toyfare in the mail today, so here's the official 25 for all to see:

These were represented in alphabetical order by Toyfare so they didn't give away how many votes each character received. And for those of you who aren't EU buffs, you will have to pick up the magazine or wait until Wednesday to checkout Wizarduniverse.com for pictures and descriptions. There's just too much for me to type here. Now to decide who I want to vote for

I'm going to have a hard time deciding on Willrow Hood and Yarna. Most likely I will go with Yarna, but how much of a chance does Mr. Hood have after this Poll?

The EU has to go!

Well, I'm REALLY disappointed in the list. Not only because Wulf didn't make it...but there is WAY too many EU characters. I don't mind a smattering of them...but 16 out of the top 25!??!

I guess I'm voting Hermie...or Yarna. Aside from the Ep.2 clones that they would have to make anyways, the rest I could give a rats behind about.

And I am really disappointed in my apparent stupidity. I just spent 20 minutes composing a post for this thread, I thought I clicked submit reply, and when I came back to my computer, the post was gone and not posted. That sucks.

Well, here is the Readers' Digest condensed version of the post:

I am voting for the Galactic Marine or Neyo because I would just rather not see fringe characters made until the characters that are a little more important to the main story are done. And I love clone figures!

Aww, what a crappy list. Way too many Eu people. I'll probably vote for Yarna. Weren't some of these guys already rumored for 2006 anyway?

And Darth Maul? Why????????

This poll should be use to get the figures Hasbro has said they don't want to make or figures that have been over looked for years. Not figures that were in a film 1 year ago.:thumbsup:

OK, so Yarna and Hermi are the only choices on the list I would have come to close to picking.

As far as market research, this shows Hasbro we are all insane. If they made all these figures they would peg warm forever. I am a HUGE fan of the Saga and have no idea who many, many of these characters are.

I can only hope fans of the original trilogy poured all their votes into Yarna and Hermi. I just hope that the votes aren't split between the two resulting in some piece of garbage being made.

I am STUNNED there is not one cantina figure on the list. No Owen and Beru from the prequels. No Anchorhead Biggs. No Lando smuggler. No black Bespin Guard, palace Klaatu, Lumat, Warok, or Romba. No Tagge. I just hope that doesn't suggest to Hasbro that we do not want them. I am AT A LOSS!

Not only that, but the EU characters they have are boring - they could be kitbashed - or otherwise had...
For example - you want an Anakin Solo? Jett Zukasa. There...Just call him Anakin.
You want Kyle Katarn as Jedi? Use the previous Kyle katarn and give him a light sabre...Mara jade Skywalker?? We already have Mara Jade - what changes?

It's not even that someone voted for them - it's that SO MANY voted for them...

On the plus side - I know there are many EU fans out there that are happy about this. Some of the KOTOR figs will be cool - and as I said, a few in the line are ok. However, this many - will kill the line. What parent is going to buy their kid these figs?

I'd also like to point out that we did that top 50 figs never made - there are (I think) 2 that are on the same list. Padme in black dress and Hermi. Something is amiss...

I'm not sure who to vote for yet....Hermi, Yarna or Willrow....

We need to stand together!!!! Only with solidarity can we ensure Yarna arises to her rightful position as the "Most Desirable Female in a Plastic Figure Role".

A Female x-wing fighter would be cool - just would seem a waste on this particular occasion. I agree with Turbowars - this is a chance to get a figure that might never see plastic made. Out of the list, the only real ones I see that fit this bill are
Willrow - obscure (strike 1) human (strike 2) background (strike 3) character
Hermi - obscure (strike 1), huge (strike 2) alien (plus) character, or
Yarna - female (strike 1), background (strike 2) prostitute (strike 3) character that hasbro doesn't want to make (strike 4)...

We need to stand together!!!! Only with solidarity can we ensure Yarna arises to her rightful position as the "Most Desirable Female in a Plastic Figure Role".I seriously, whole heartily agree, but unfortunately there's too many EU geeks that will ruin the idea. All us OT freaks will just have to try our best.

I seriously, whole heartily agree, but unfortunately there's too many EU geeks that will ruin the idea. All us OT freaks will just have to try our best.And I'd be willing to be that 90% of the EU geeks are PT fans that don't really care for the OT anyways and since nearly every damn background character has been made from the PT there only option is the EU. That's my thinking and that's what I've thought for some time.
